SameDotter was a big fan of the zombie-apocolypse genre... I cringed 
because I saw it as an early desensitization to giving permission to 
shift from "this is my best friend!" to "must exclude/extermite 
immediately!"...  played out in Nazi Germany (esp. Brownshirts?) and now 
in MAGA 'Murrica!

I love me a good reference to cordyceps shanghais:  Dall-E didn't refuse 
me this time, I must be getting more subtle?
